SyFy Prematurely Cancels Eureka

I'm just flabbergasted. SyFy reassured Eureka fans last week that we would get an additional 6 episodes of Eureka next year, supposedly to finish up the series finale. My how things change. Four days later SyFy announces that not only will it renig on the 6 additional episodes, it will cancel the series all together. The writing team has to wrap up the series with just the last remaining episodes and Christmas Special.
Clearly there was too much science fiction in this show, which couldn't have been good for SyFy's branding. A show with five popular seasons, great characters, and story lines (based on science fiction) is just not the best fit. Now they can schedule more wrestling, bad movies, and reality shows because that's what scifi fans really want.

I went through the same thing with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox. I had the hot robot chick door poster and lunch-box and everything. Went through a lot of whiskey for awhile after that...

I hadn't heard this yet. Hunh. I never watched the show until Netflix had the first 3 or 4 seasons available streaming then I sat down and watched them all in a few weeks. I haven't had a chance to watch the episodes that have been running this summer yet, but I've saved them for later.

@Chip-- I think you'll really like it. It's one of the last few true science fiction based shows on television. It's really one of the most creative, well-acted shows on tv. I can't believe they didn't give it time to wrap up.

ABOUT | RETIRED

NEW BLOG

ASpaceBlogyssey has been semi-retired. I will continue to do the occasional film review. Unfortunately, I don't see nearly enough movies to keep this blog going anymore. Please feel free to visit me at my new website on Wordpress www.fatchange.com where I am blogging about lifestyle issues.

I will continue to run ASpaceBlogyssey.com, but I don't feel it's fair to post non-entertainment blog posts here--since this has always been an entertainment blog. Anyhoo, I'll see you on the flip side! Don't be a stranger.
